Well, it didn't seem to me that the OP had Googled or groups.googled or RTFMed for solutions to the problems that he'd encountered. In most cases, if you don't do those things, then Linux isn't the right thing for you.
This is true, but if something works under $OS1 and not $OS2, I tend to wonder what's going on with the hardware. Back in Old Days, the paper manuals that came with Apple ImageWriters and Scribes had extensive documentation telling you exactly what escape sequences you could send to the device, and exactly what each sequence did. Unfortunately, the old spirit of providing full specs to the hardware has mostly vanished.

It *isn't* the machine 216.196.97.136 instead of what it is.
Nope. That's not how that header works AFAICT. HTH,
